Many years ago I had two weeks of marine firefighter training at Texas
A&M. When we studied BLEVE's, (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor
Explosions) he told us a good rule of thumb about such fires. "Hold
your thumb up at arms length and close one eye. When you can hide the
entire event behind your thumb, you are far enough away."


That works well for telling your wife that you just bought a new tool
also.

Unless she's a good shot..

Being from Texas I practically grew up with a gun in my hands. She on the
other hand does not even want to look at one. Her looks could kill though.
